If like me you look for a cause to support at this time of year and get your friends family kids etc involved so they understand the counter to the season of abundance then please give this a read… The #Big Give Christmas Challenge is on and we need your help! We have raised a whopping £3,400 just in the last 3 days. The Big Give Christmas Challenge will remain open until 12pm on Tuesday, 5th December and we need your help. All donations are DOUBLED until we reach our target. Donate today to become a global health champions, contributing to the improvement of diagnostic imaging access in Ghana. Donate now Why is this important? In Ghana, the lack of diagnostic imaging services impacts many children requiring prompt and precise diagnosis and treatment. The funds gathered through this campaign will be used to train 8 healthcare professionals in the use of Point of Care ultrasound (POCUS) techniques. Such training is crucial in enhancing paediatric healthcare and represents a move towards addressing the significant challenge that in countries with low and medium income, 80% of the population faces limited or no access to critical diagnostic examinations.

It is exactly 1 week until November, which is Epilepsy Awareness Month! During the month of November, my dog Sully and I are making it our mission to raise awareness about canine epilepsy and take steps towards advancing research in the field of canine epilepsy. Our goal is to walk 20 miles within the month of November to raise awareness of Canine Epilepsy and raise funding to improve research capacities. Please check out our page and consider donating to the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation’s Epilepsy Research Foundation. Let’s make steps together in improving methods for preventing and treating canine epilepsy.

More and more, we are finding that difficult to diagnose or treat medical/mental health issues tie back to outsized or misdirected immune responses. Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, PANS, PANDAS, post-Lyme, long Covid... (the list goes on). Whether caused by viruses, or exposed by responses to them, these illnesses have in common many symptoms that are first chased and attempted to be countered by mainstream means for treating those symptoms. But their cause in these cases is different, needing a collective comprehension across the range of these systemic disorders. This video helps to introduce one of them (a hard story to tell, harder to live through, and even harder to suffer when we lose victims to these conditions or to the frustrations in trying to find answers). #PANS #PANDAS #OCD #depression #anxiety #eatingdisorders #autoimmune #mentalhealth #neuroimmune #suicide #seizetheawkward #AFSP #POTS #NAMI

If you’ve been wondering about becoming an Aevitas Sperm Donor, then take a look at some of our most frequently asked questions.   #5: How do recipient families choose a donor.   Although sperm donation is anonymous, recipient families are able to browse our donors’ profiles which gives important information such as health and anonymous family medical history, education and some information on hobbies and interests.    Recipient families are able to see toddler photographs of the donor to help them to make a physical match decision.   #AnonymousDonation #GenerousCompensation      https://lnkd.in/gVxFiP9A

Any donations welcome please! 🥰 https://lnkd.in/e-Hr2usZ Throughout August I will be doing 10k steps every day to raise money for the Epilepsy Society. In 2020, I started having random tonic-clonic seizures. These resulted in me falling out of bed, confusion, biting my tongue/cheek, not recognising family/friends or where I was, not being able to speak/read at the time, etc. 😅 After an MRI, I was diagnosed with Periventricular Nodular Heterotopia (PVNH) which causes epilepsy for the majority of those that have it. PVNH is a rare brain malformation characterized by an abnormal clumping of grey matter (nerve cells) around the deep fluid chambers inside the brain called the ventricles. Luckily, after trying different medications, I currently am only having around one seizure a week (which is bad enough!) and so I'd like to raise money for the Epilepsy Society for the amazing work they do not only for people like myself but also those that have multiple seizures a day and are, sadly, a lot worse off. 💞 Being a new manager while I was trying to deal with being diagnosed with this has certainly been a challenge, but I love what I do 🥰 https://lnkd.in/e-Hr2usZ #epilepsy #socialcare #donations #epilepsysociety
